I recently won a mossberg silver reserve 2 (another Turkish gun) . I always heard the trash talk about cheap shotguns but ive shot a crap load through that one just trying to get it to fail and it's been solid. Everything from skeet to 3 inch 1 1/4 slugs. Still going. The barrels shoot pretty close 50/50 too. I think it a fine hunting shotgun. Sample size of one.
The bad. Controls are clunky. Mainly the selector/ safety. Trigger sucks. Not even good for a shotgun. Break down is pretty dang hard compared to the other 50 or so shotguns ive used. Even for a cock on opening gun. The whole gun feels like it's scaled up 15/20% bigger than it should be. Beretta nor Browning it is not, in the handing dept. Nor fit/ finish.
Good hunting gun though I think
I imagine the 555 is similar.
